We are getting down to the small details. Create yet another small circle 12 pixels in diameter and copy and paste attributes for the chrome fill. Select this small circle with the Freehand and Brush Tool then click Create Brush. Name your brush (anything you wish) and press OK. Draw a wavy line down the page with the Freehand and Brush Tool. Click Edit Brush. In the Rotation tabbed section, uncheck Rotate Along Path. Change the setting in the Spacing tabbed section to 70%. And in the Width text entry box on the Infobar, key in 3pt and press Enter. Copy the line to the Clipboard (Ctrl c).
Using the Freehand and Brush Tool, draw 3 wavy lines from the chrome bottom to the top of the ellipse between the wheels. Select each of the lines and Paste Attributes (Ctrl Shift a). Send one of the lines to the back Ctrl b.
Open the Clip Art Gallery (Shift F10) and then open the Photographs 2 folder. Down towards the bottom is the photo shown above, Ayres Rock. Drag this image onto the page and send it to the back Ctrl b. Group all the objects except the photograph. Select the group with the Shadow Tool and apply a Floor Shadow. Drag the top of the floor shadow down with the Shadow Tool cursor so the top of the shadow is about in the center of the wheels. Change the Shadow Transparency slider setting to 50%.
The photo of Ayres Rock is a bit washed out. You can edit it in Xara Picture Editor (right click on the photo and select Xara Picture Editor). Press Ctrl e to open the Enhance dialog. Set the Brightness setting to -35, the Contrast slider setting to 15 and the Sharpness setting to 5. Press the red check icon to apply the changes to the image.
